Predatory journals

Abstract

The phenomenon of so-called "predatory scientific journals" has been growing systematically for several years. Anyone involved in research receives several daily e-mails with advertisements from new publishers and journals that come up every year and offer to publish their articles in a few days, within a maximum of 1 or 2 weeks. From the point of view of the editorial process, it is impossible to ensure that these deadlines are met. Once an Editor receives an article, he carries out a first evaluation of it to see if it complies with the quality standard to receive an evaluation, and if it conforms to the publication norms of the journal. Only then does it select reviewers who, because of their knowledge, should be referents and have published articles on topics close to them so that it can be verified that they are capable of evaluating on that topic.
